Tomi Favored - God First Lyrics

So I meet a lot of people
And sometimes I run into someone who says
Aw man I really like this person
I want to be with them
And I'm like yo, do they love God
Like is God their first?
And um, they say wellll…Kinda
And I'm like, listen
I know you don't like this
But I have to say pause
Cos if that person doesn't love God first
Where are they going to pull from to love you
They gotta love God
Before they can love you
Cos if they haven't loved the Lord
They really don't know how to love you from the Word yet
They gotta know Love
And the person that is love is God
And if they haven't loved Him first
Where will they pull from to love you more
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
You gonna need somebody right there
And if they ain't nothing but Worldly
They not going have enough for you to spare
Cos love is hard thing
For real it takes real patience Ya'll
For someone to stick with you through all you going through
You need perseverance Ya'll
Cos when the Bible says love is patient
What it means your patience will be tried
When the Bible says love is kind
It's telling you you are about to get tired
If love doesn't keep a record of wrongs
It means you gonna need to forget
If love is so humble
It means you're not focused on only what you get
If love is so long suffering
Get ready to suffer for long
And if you ain't ready to do that
Jesus might not be the one to whom you belong
Don't get me wrong I'm not saying unbelievers don't love
What I am sayin' is that without God
It ain't going to last so long
They gotta love God
Before they can love you
Cos if they haven't loved the Lord
They really don't know how to love you from the Word yet
They gotta know Love
And the person that is love is God
And if they haven't loved Him first
Where will they pull from to love you more
Love is not a game
Love is not a pretty name
Love is not just fleeting, it is something that remains
Love is not just Eros
Even Phileo is not the whole thang
From the sacrifice of Agape
Is where your heart learns to be tame
Pleasure is good and fine
And best believe that I want to get mine
But you don't want to get caught up
Thinking that's what you goin get the whole time
There will be challenges
There will be stones
There will be pain
But when come the damages
Will you be strong
Will you remain?
In the moments when you don't get along
You still able to say I belong
To a person whose love runs so deep
They can overlook the times you're wrong
Love is not a game
Love is not a pretty name
Love is not just fleeting, it is something that remains
They gotta love God
Before they can love you
Cos if they haven't loved the Lord
They really don't know how to love you from the Word yet
They gotta know Love
And the person that is love is God
And if they haven't loved Him first
Where will they pull from to love you more
They gotta love God
Before they can love you
Cos if they haven't loved the Lord
They really don't know how to love you from the Word yet
They gotta know Love
And the person that is love is God
And if they haven't loved Him first
Where will they pull from to love you more
